Old Analog Pot Fix

[Ridge Runner]

I’m posting this due that we still have lots of detectors that have tuning knobs on them and just by bumping your detector they can get off.

 The first thing you do is take the knob off the pot you’re having trouble with. Then get you some O rings that fit tight around the pin of the pot and slide one over the pin .Now you take knob for it and push it back on so the knob will rub on the O ring . The O ring will drag on the detector housing and by magic you have fixed your problem of your settings getting off .

 I’m sure a lot of the old times knew about this little trick that can be a big problem.

 One friend had a detector that the pots was so worn that they would get off just swinging it .
